Probably because Yost did research for Alpha Flight, since he's writing New Warriors and Amazing X-Men.

Best Marvel book out there. (Which may not be saying much, but it really is!)

Nope, but never knew there was one haha. I like the team though, even have three copies of Amazing Spider-Man Annual #22

Ah, all right. Someone on the New Warriors facebook page had the same "sound" as your post ("aaaaaand the series is now cancelled.Not many books last past 12 now that aren't the Avenger, X-Men or Spider-Man") - mentioning even specifically, that if it's not a brand like X-Men, Avengers or has Wolverine in it, Marvel won't give it a chance.
